I have absolutely no idea on what the hell is going on Do you have any idea on what the hell is going on I’m still wondering why they thought it was a good idea to let teachers put A comment on our report cards for term three last year And so we’re lining up in front of the school, waiting for the orientation Waiting for the groups to be assigned And I’m looking at my phone, everybody’s looking at their phone But there’s just one thought on my mind I’m just standing here hoping that you’ll be put with me Counselor have mercy I’m just standing here hoping that you’ll be put with me I’m just hoping that you’ll be in my cohort, honey It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face You look so much better in person And I don’t know if I can last the entire year without you near We will both go crazy, I am certain And so we’re lining up in front of the school, waiting for the orientation Waiting for the groups to be assigned And we’re talking loudly through our masks so we can hear each other It’s safe to say you’re always on my mind I’m just standing here hoping that you’ll be put with me Counselor have mercy I’m just standing here hoping that you’ll be put with me I’m just hoping that you’ll be in my cohort, honey

Waking up to someone else's cries from across the sea Save the heat for the engine and stumble on the deck, there's a place we need to be Full speed ahead to the heart of destruction Radio, live transmission, I’m headed straight towards your last position Winding through the ice it seems we’ve found ourselves a greater mission Full speed ahead to the heart of destruction Is it the White Star, White Star?

I used to hide my singing under reverb and distortion I tried to convince myself that it was an artistic choice Nobody could understand a word that I was mumbling But it took until grade 11 when I took the filters off of my voice Is it time to gather up the evidence and burn it in a pit? Or is it time to see it for what it is Another part of the big progression or is it Just another mistake that I’m reluctant to admit I used to hide my lyrics under references and allegories And said that the personal lines I wrote were supposed to be ironic or I was too frightened to tell anybody about the actual context And still I’m being vague just in case my friends find my alternate moniker If I keep it confidential If I make my profile picture another cartoon animal Maybe that’s too specific for this song, maybe I should stick to only Fragments of my history, scattered somewhere in my hard drive Scattered somewhere in my hard drive

I will be with you, always French fry salt under fingernails we leave into the nighttime air It’s cold, so cold The hostile architecture is keeping me off of my driveway It’s cold, my neighborhood is getting old I will be with you, always, I will be with you, always (If I played you a note that sounded strange I didn’t miss the chord, I’m just exploring my right to modal interchange) One star, never been there, one star, it was closed when I went One star, it wasn't worth all the money that I spent

Age on my friend Though we’ve only known each other for a year We’ve had a good time my friend It’s still hurts to know that the end is so near to us Age on my friend I know after a while this school will be a memory But I’m hoping, my friend That in that haze you will remember me There’s a word that describes the feeling of knowing that everyone’s lives are as vivid as yours are I hope that you know what I’m trying articulate And I know that eventually, I will grow up too, And leave this classroom behind But not yet, no not yet, I still have time Do you remember my friend Why we laughed so hard at the stupidest stuff But when I looked at you, and you looked at me That’s all it took, that was enough To miss the whole entry and we sent the section in a fit of laughter and tears I don’t quite remember how the conductor reacted But I will cherish that moment for countless more years It was nice to know you my friend xxxxx I think I listened to my favourite album one too many times this week And now I have to take some time to cool down So I went to the theater to watch my favourite movie but I was late And I couldn’t get into the plot and I didn’t care when my favourite character drowned I re-read A Scanner Darkly, and I felt nothing I re-read The Little Prince and I still felt nothing But the feeling I had spent the entire afternoon Feeling nothing I looked through my old photos, feeling nothing I even did it to a playlist of songs I liked when I was ten I skipped most of them I’ve changed, yeah, I’ve changed My cells are always being replaced, my cells are always being replaced I’ve changed, yeah, I’ve changed My cells are always being replaced, my cells are always being replaced The sky was getting darker out my window as I went through the last of the photo albums But I was too tired to get out of my bed to turn on my lights So I fell asleep thinking about how much different I’ll be right now vs when I die And I dreamed of my smart as 10 year old self saying “you’re stupid but you’re probably right” You’ll change, like I’ve changed Your cells are always being replaced, your cells are always being replaced You’ll change, like I’ve changed Your cells are always being replaced, your cells are always being replaced

In my old school, there was a door That people said led to a secret portal But one day, it was unlocked And I discovered it was a storage closet There has to be some wonder out there Out by the furthest stars There has to be some wonder out there But we're not getting far We're grounded on earth Oh, and now I've settled down I have a house out in the country And though my life is figured our I still long for something
